We're proud to partner again with Haitian company Deux Mains to provide school shoes for all 200 kids in our program! Each pair is $39. Beyond footwear, your gift fuels local manufacturing and shows our students what's possible when businesses grow in Haiti. We're so inspired by all Deux Mains has built, and our kids can't wait to learn from them when they visit to teach about leather and shoe-making. Can you cover one pair at $39? Every gift brings us closer to 200 bright, confident smiles! :
Only 15% of Haitians hold full-time work, so something as basic as school shoes can stand between a child and their education. Every student needs proper shoes to complete their uniform and attend class. Deux Mains meets that need twice over: shoes built to local uniform standards in a Fair Trade-certified factory, supporting both a child's learning and a parent's livelihood.
Every dollar does double duty. Your gift puts durable, uniform-approved shoes on the feet of all 200 students in our program, so they show up to class consistently and without a second thought about whether they belong there. And because those shoes come from Deux Mains, your support flows straight into Haitian hands, sustaining skilled jobs at a Fair Trade factory. We're not just solving today's problem, we're helping build the local economy that prevents it tomorrow.
The shoes are just the beginning. When a child attends school consistently, doors open: literacy, confidence, a future that changes a family's trajectory for good. And every pair sourced locally strengthens Haiti's manufacturing sector one job at a time, showing students that real careers can be built right where they live. That's the lasting impact we're after, a generation that learns today and leads in their own communities tomorrow.
